Before then though I had a long dark night to endure. My thoughts haunted by her trusting eyes.The abuse she'd been subjected to crept into my subconscious.
The horrors I could put a stop to.
Going round. Phoning the police. I did them immediately in my sleep, and they came. Saved her.
A flashing blue light pierced my nightmare. Sirens peppered my slumber and my eyes opened and it wasn't a dream. Ambulances were in the road, outside our houses and I watched from my window as her body was pulled out on a stretcher. Covered with a bloodied sheet.

Oh Lisa, you have hit hard with this story! You've told it brilliantly and I have to admit to being upset by it. A great piece of writing in so few words. Very impressive; very well done.
